Well mine is an 84 yours is an 89. Might be somewhat diff for 89. Tim would know. In this thread I mentioned how I removed tube from exhaust to egr. Then just lift out Egr with tube attached. If...
to test the egr lift hose going to top of egr from side of black plastic cylinder at idle and suck on it. engine should die. if it doesn't, clogged port in intake . I had that when I first bought...
Tim. Exactly I had foreseen removing the plenum and all to repair the injectors. Imagine if I had done that to to no avail? Compounded the depression.
However last year I had actually put a...
Just wanted to edit my last post. I donÂ’t need a smog for another year but it will be an informative experience and I will of course advise here.
Because after many years of very poor gas...
I’ll confirm Chet on this. I’ve done both.
Was living in SF around ‘74. 67 bug. The state came out with a law that I needed a PCV. So drove it up to Oregon and registered using friends...
Order # D-280-94 will work. It’s listed in the Carb database for 84 Van. $120 At AZ is a good deal.
MY order for the direct fit was d-193-105
If it’s what it says it is. It should have the Carb # stamped on the shell. If not you can return. Hot exhaust has the Magnaflows much higher.
If you do eventually need the Cat make sure it is for California. The cheapest one Magnaflow I see for CA is $360 for a universal. I’d go with the direct fit from RockAuto in that case for $430. ...
I’m in CA with an 84. Mine doesn’t smoke but runs very rich. You can smell it at idle. Yet it passed 2 years ago with a CARB legal Catalytic Convertor that I got from Rock Auto for around $200. ...
That’s a great idea. Or even cut or chisel a hole in the roof big enough for the chain hook of no sunroof. The wheel barrow would have been easier to roll on the gravel as well with larger wheels. ...
From reading these posts it seems like more than a few of you are DIY’ers. So I thought I’d post my adventure at the Richmond PNP this weekend with pictures this time. A 110K 3YEC with auto. So I...
Maybe I’m blind but I don’t see how to start a new thread?
+ new posts is not available to me although it says I have permission.
now it says I may not post new threads. Earlier everything was...
Yeah I should lurk on here at least more often and help out the newbies as you do. It’s just that my van so rarely needs help that I have no need.
Younare of course correct as I read in the FSM...
Hey Tim long time.
does your statement to jump the connector apply to 1984 as well? I just had my smog done and the tech showed me that in his book it does not say to do that. Nor on the...
Hey Rufus, thanks for that excellent reply. I’m replacing mine as well. The 2 gaskets on each side were missing. I noticed from the shop manual that these 2 gaskets appear to go right On top of...
In your case it wouldn’t matter since you’re not saving the body but you might want to put a 1x4 or something to distribute the pressure under the cinch strap at both edges of the roof above both...
Be delighted to. I sent them in 3 emails. Check your bulk mail just in case . It'll be from Theojo
Thanks Tim, I never had any idea a water pump bolt could be so significant. I'm all sealed up now with no water leaks, so I think it survived.
It turns out it was a combination of the 2....
I replaced the water pump on my 84 back in 2007. It just recently started to leak again. I noticed when putting the new one back on that the larger bolt at the bottom which goes on last and goes...
5 speed 84 LE with windows. Built August 83. E312 which is the 7.1 with 3.909 ratio.
This was an auto, and may not work quite as well with the manuals, since they don't have just the one bolt hole in the transmission mount, to act as a pivot point.
Problems I've found doing it...
First post here. Great site Tim. I've been lurking for a while soaking up your valuable info.
Hey Mahleek, Long time no see. I've been off the sites for a few years, because my 84 with 276K...
